very cute pumpkin! There are so many different pumpkin patterns out there, this one, however, has such a simple way of creating the pumpkin shape. Quite often I have seen the ridges being created by sewing a few strands of yarn around a round shape then pulling it tight. June's pattern is far more clever (and in my opinion a much easier way!) with simply crocheting in back or front loops. This is a pattern everyone should try, to easily make a perfect pumpkin.
